Q: Site says only 101 viewing range. Why isn't it 360?
A: Because the human eye doesnt see a full 360. That would mean that when you are looking forward you would be seeing directly behind you. The human eye only sees in a 114 degree viewing range. so this is very close to completely covering your field of view
A: Some are free some cost money I suggest reading the reviews so you have an idea of what your buying I have never bought a game I regret and remember good games and apps cost money to make also there is an app on the google play store type in cardboard to Oculus and this app will allow you to play all the free cardboard and viewmaster games
A: As far as I know the controller should work. As it's Bluetooth to your phone and not the gear itself.
Q: Are you able to watch movies on it ? If so how well does that work ?
A: You can watch movies on it. Either ones you have purchased from the oculus store, and ones from hulu and netflix (they have their own apps) and also you can store movies on your phone, and access them from the oculus theater app
A: No. You need an Oculus account, which is owned by Facebook, but they are not the same. You can create a standalone account.
Q: I wear glasses. Can I use this with glasses on?
A: Yes you can or you might be able to adjust without glasses. Depends on how bad is your eyesight.
A: I have had the 2016 and the 2017. In appearance they seem pretty identical. I want to saw the color is slightly different. But I never put the two next to each other so I cant confirm that. But I will tell you in the 2015, and 2016 VR headsets I always had issues with fogging up the eye pieces and this year I have had no issues. I am not sure if there was a small design change I cant seem to notice. But the fogging has been resolved for me
Q: When I add item to the cart, there is not an option to add protection plan. Why not?
A: Because of the nature of the product. When I bought this in store, I too was not offered a protection plan. We all know that some of the products that Best Buy sells do not have protection plans and some do, this is one such item that does not.
